Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Scufer_ scuf (@Scufer_) reported

    @scanfps @ManiacR6 It’s what overwatch did to help maintain its cheating problem, not saying cheaters won’t exist but, should decrease the overall amount of cheaters

  • comettalt — kels0oo🐝 (@comettalt) reported

    why am I still playing overwatch in 2022? like what is my problem

  • DaGanjFather420 The GanjFather (@DaGanjFather420) reported

    @lexxcchi Yeeee! Aight ill see wussup. My overwatch hasnt worked for like 2 years. No fix in sight either lmao. Opens like its gonna load the game then jus goes back to my desktop

  • Noetic_NRG Noetic NRG (@Noetic_NRG) reported

    @Sash0524 @RoelYento @TheMaverickWS I bet you more people played Overwatch than Halo Infinite. Their IP is worth a fortune, they just haven't been innovating enough and have horribly mismanaged their titles. Microsoft can fix both of those problems.

  • RyanLudwick_ Ryan Ludwick (@RyanLudwick_) reported

    @shahzarkhan_ @SurvivorLustin But you said they should fix Overwatch and WoW? If the games are good, what exactly do they need to fix? 🗿

  • silkymule11 SilkyMule (@silkymule11) reported

    @Mx51705 @OverwatchGG I have no problem with what people say to me. But um your argument kinda implodes on itself If real life is worse than overwatch why do you give a **** about someone's rank? Or why care enough to say something that could be hurtful?

  • Jdog_4789 𝙅𝙙𝙤𝙜 (Halo mods are awesome) (@Jdog_4789) reported

    Rocket League, Minecraft, Overwatch, and a few others. However whenever I boot up said games I get a feeling of sadness and get really depressed. Why? I don't know, but also I just have trouble playing for any amount of time before I just get bored and switch back to Halo.. 2/5

  • Hastyle14 Hastyle1 (@Hastyle14) reported

    @stefayylmao1 How can overwatch take pkayerbase serious when of all the problems they need to fix. Orissa is the one you choose? Are you mental?

  • AlexTPet Alex Petropoulos (@AlexTPet) reported

    @Dom_Sacco @MonteCristo I feel like another issue is people not reporting in game - I know this is something that the Overwatch team have talked about before - they NEED you to report bad actors to actually get them... AND reporting works!! I've received over 100 confirmations on action taken from mine

  • Jacob58494836 EQuXz133 (@Jacob58494836) reported

    @IGN I hope they fix overwatch and bring it back to life

  • RISE0FSKYWALKER victoria (@RISE0FSKYWALKER) reported

    is it me or is the match making on overwatch so broken rn

  • shimizuesora ✿ gaby (@shimizuesora) reported

    no game makes me want to punch a wall like a white boy with anger issues more than overwatch does.

  • KryssArondight SomeKindaHero117 | PNGTuber | Pre-Debut ENVtuber (@KryssArondight) reported

    @jigs_vt Typically, most Overwatch players just have issues with positioning. If this is not your case, and your heals are constantly going off, then it's not your fault. So flame your team for roasting you (If you have the confidence or even care enough to reply to them)

  • Pendragonfruit Jon Peด้dragoด้ (@Pendragonfruit) reported

    @so_bewitching @Blizzard_Ent My friend @Avaltor05 would like to know how deaf friendly/accessible this game will be. She said there were issues with subtitles in Overwatch that made it difficult. On a side note, this looks interesting. Will read blog.

  • Ole_Official_ Bad_Jungler They/Them (@Ole_Official_) reported

    @ReviceRex @ZenofyMedia @PlayOverwatch Also to add that cosmetics have been the only consistent game updates we’ve had over the past two years, and now we’re not even getting that, overwatch is truely a dead game. Can’t wait for Microsoft to fix blizzards ****

  • ChrisyClarkDrag Chrissy Clark Drag (@ChrisyClarkDrag) reported

    Lets hope Microsoft can help fix Overwatch/2 cause man this current event leaves ALOT to be desired

  • primlife4m cthulus (@primlife4m) reported

    I’m the only one who hasn’t broken the overwatch streak. Still clean

  • JennyBandicoot Jenny🍼 (@JennyBandicoot) reported

    @Adaaaaaammm94 @ConsoleF0V @videotech_ Best case scenario in my opinion. Not scummy like Facebook or EA. And wouldn't make call of duty or overwatch exclusive like Sony would've. I still reckon MS will allow Spyro & Crash will be multiplatform with them being old Sony mascots.

  • JonPysanczyn Jonathan Pysanczyn (@JonPysanczyn) reported

    @_Tom_Henderson_ EA should be disappointed in their own management, who demonstrated a complete disconnect from the desires of their own player base by delivering them a combination of Overwatch and COD when they, you know, just wanted to play Battlefield.

  • megti meg! (@megti) reported

    @SamitoFPS of all the issues overwatch has, not sure this one is really a priority, but i don't play the game anymore so i could be wrong just wish they gave a damn about the game the past couple years bc i used to love it so much & now i can't stand even thinking about opening the game :(

  • ariaeterna Aria~ (@ariaeterna) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Excited! but fix your existing games first. Overwatch is done bleeding. WoW is dogshit. Starcraft is forgotten.. wtf is diablo anyways...

  • PsychoticxMusic PsychoticxMusic (@PsychoticxMusic) reported

    Listen, if Overwatch goes free to play Competitive is going to be a joke. Smurfs are already a problem, ******* good luck newbies

  • Gargantuan_OTC Gargantuan_OTC (@Gargantuan_OTC) reported

    @OwnTheFloat I’m liking what they’re doing with Overwatch. Seems like a unique service. It probably won’t be as high-margin as the actual tech itself, but I see a real need from SMBs. Plus it seems like their global systems integration department can deliver services at competitive prices.

  • dawn_berlitz21 Nathaniel Greene (@dawn_berlitz21) reported

    @BlizzardCS are you guys doing something to overwatch servers there has been high ping for multiple matches others even having issue

  • IxidorsDreams you should be Frightened (@IxidorsDreams) reported

    @Halo @axisstudiosgrp Fix your ******* game CHEATERs r ruining my life and good will towards your company VALORANT AND OVERWATCH DO NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES

  • JeresDeath jere (DERANGED catboy) (@JeresDeath) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch first no?

  • Spvwvky Spooky👻VTuber | Motion Design&Music - On Spotify! (@Spvwvky) reported

    @RazerSupport Mostly it's the rubber you use on the side of your mouses dude it starts to rub off after like a year and have been a chronic problem with every DeathAdder I've ever had which is like 8 at this point. The Overwatch editions were particularly flimsy it felt like.

  • booberfan12 h (@booberfan12) reported

    @itsTHR1LL_AE its just that there are much better ways to go about it, it feels like ubi isnt putting too much thought into it. with the addition of the replay system a better idea would be to implement an overwatch type system (only after they fix yellow pings in replays) in siege

  • dazo64 dazo 🦉 (@dazo64) reported

    this weird urge of me wanting to revisit overwatch is honestly a problem! why do i enjoy hurting myself so much thru via games 🙄

  • MrRealHumour ☆ Gamez ☆ #SaveRedDeadOnline (@MrRealHumour) reported

    @suchitchoudhury @GRIMMYRAX @videotech_ Overwatch and diablo are great on switch, Guitar Hero would be able to run on a switch no problem if it gets revived. Why would first party playstation franchises be on switch? They’re not 3rd party games.
